August is here and we are nearing completion. We have flipped the boat on its side so we can tape all side to bottom joints and lap joint all side butt joints using 4 inch strips and contact cement. We still have to prime the sides, two coats and we have switched to DRI-LOC latex concrete block sealer. Three coats should do with one more coat on the bottom. Makes the boat look like stucco! We were not allowed to use any silicone so we used Liquid Nails for caulk. Any open joint was filled with Liquid Nails. I also made a steering oar, which may be of wood and a cardboard arm off the stern to support the oar.Final painting and we are ready for the send-off party on Friday the 13th.......
